It sounds it was one dipshit, not some organized armed militia.

The willingness of pure bullshit to be spewed for political/social purposes out of pure confirmation bias is fuging killing our society.

"The initial report stated there was a truck load of militia that was involved," the sheriff's office said. "However, after further investigation, it was determined Parsons acted alone and there were no truck loads of militia going to Lake Lure."

People need to start realizing that when something fits your bias a little too perfectly, it's highly likely to be sensationalized reporting or sometimes just outright bullshit.

So this right wing nut couldn't have possibly killed a bunch of relief workers with a rifle and handgun ?  What is your point ?  That it doesn't matter that it was only one guy even though it is apparent he was doing the bidding of the right wing wackos and the orange turd that have been shitting on FEMA for the past two weeks?  Or that fema and other responders should just take this in stride and have no concerns that some more poo heads show up and start shooting?

 

 

 

In a Facebook post from 2020, an account that appears to belong to Parsons posted an image with text reading “III Percenter,” a far-right, anti-government militia movement that purports that a small number of people must protect Americans from government tyranny. In another post, from 2019, the account shared an image with text reading, “WHEN TYRANNY BECOMES LAW REBELLION IS ORDER.” Other posts included anti-vaccine statements and statements supporting former President Donald Trump.

A FEMA spokesperson said the agency has made operational adjustments in response to the threats for the safety of its staff members and the disaster survivors. In Ashe County, FEMA operations were briefly put on pause in response to the threats and resumed today, the county sheriff’s office said on Facebook. Madison County had similarly halted operations, which picked back up again Monday afternoon. Armed North Carolina man arrested on suspicion of making threats against FEMA workers, authorities say (msn.com)

The point is there were no truckloads of armed militias like was being "reported". There was one dipshit and he was arrested. Done.

That happened in 2004 in Boone with Katrina when I was up there.   
 

side note, I’ve seen it snow in Boone every month but July and August. Saw it first week of June my senior year and before a noon kickoff in September.    
 

we have a saying in Boone. You don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes.
